a pleasant atmosphere. Here you have the best ocean view rooms available for
the price. In total there are 27 rooms, all of them are air conditioned with a
private bathroom and WI-FI. It is important to note that not all rooms have
ocean views. In fact, there is only one individual room that has ocean views
with all the others being doubles. To avoid paying a double room rate, reserve
in advance and request the individual room with ocean views. Given its ideal
location, this place fills up fast so reserve well in advance.
